@cam hell yeah

@cam i never thought about tryharding pens before. a whole new world has just been exposed to me

@cam if i bought a $200 pen i would just let it sit on my shelf and every time i walk by id be like "wow theres my really cool $200 pen :)"

@cam probably worth it

@vaporeon_ I want to clarify that there is a place for complex web frameworks. The reason they exist is that using JavaScript and the DOM for extremely complex interactivity just... sucks. These frameworks wouldn't exist if people enjoyed using the DOM for complicated applications

The issue is when people are using these gigantic frameworks to build single page applications for your personal website that is a single page showing off your projects. Like, the plot has been completely lost at that point

@vaporeon_ sometimes reality is worse than fiction

@vaporeon_ and i mean, a lot of modern web frameworks aren't all that different from using a new language that compiles to HTML + CSS + JavaScript

@vaporeon_ one could spend the rest of their life understanding the nuances of the useEffect hook in react

@vaporeon_ i do now how to do it now, don't worry lmao. but a lot of modern website design is learning to operator a hydraulic press to hammer a nail, when you could've just used a hammer

@vaporeon_ (its me. after i came out of my web developer boot camp i didn't know how to make a static web site)

@vaporeon_ making a modern web site is such a pain in the ass using so many layers of frameworks and abstractions that some new web developers don't even know how to make static websites anymore
